Correspondingly, the mass production process of storage hardware before it leaves the factory is becoming increasingly important. Currently, the mass production process for storage hardware mainly involves using a simulation testing platform developed based on Microsoft Visual Studio 2007. This involves inputting TCM (Tightly Coupled Memory) data, DDR (Double Data Transfer Rate) data, and bad block table information from the solid-state storage hardware to perform simulation tests. Then, mass production is executed based on the simulation test results. This process is relatively complex and cannot simulate abnormal situations that may occur during the operation of the storage hardware in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Further, the step of calling the mass production firmware within the virtual storage hardware to execute the mass production instructions and obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware includes:

[0012] The system calls the mass production firmware to read the preset mass production parameters in the mass production instruction, constructs a system block based on the virtual topology data, and constructs a bad block table based on the virtual bad block status data.

[0013] The target mass production data is obtained by inputting the mass production parameters, the system block, and the bad block table into the mass production firmware.

[0014] Further, the step of reading the bootloader within the virtual storage hardware to load the running firmware within the virtual storage hardware includes:

[0015] The boot program within the virtual storage hardware is read using the target mass production data.

[0016] The bootloader loads the running firmware within the virtual storage hardware.

[0017] Further, the step of reading the boot program within the virtual storage hardware using the target mass production data includes:

[0018] Simulate a power outage operation on the virtual storage hardware;

[0019] An additional thread of the simulation test platform is invoked to simulate the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware in order to read the boot program from the flash memory within the virtual storage hardware.

[0020] Furthermore, the method includes:

[0021] A simulated mass production tool is built based on a simulation testing platform. The simulated mass production tool is used to perform simulation testing operations on the target storage hardware and to perform virtual mass production operations on the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware.

[0022] Furthermore, the step of building a simulated mass production tool based on a simulation testing platform includes:

[0023] The first thread of the simulation test platform is invoked to simulate the normal mass production operation of the target storage hardware, and the second thread of the simulation test platform is invoked to simulate the virtual storage hardware.

[0024] The simulated mass production tool is obtained by interacting between the first thread and the second thread.

[0025] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a mass production apparatus for storage hardware, the apparatus comprising:

[0026] Program building module: Used to output preset mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware;

[0027] Virtual mass production module: used to call the mass production firmware in the virtual storage hardware to execute the mass production instructions and obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware;

[0028] Firmware runtime module: used to read the boot program in the virtual storage hardware to load the runtime firmware in the virtual storage hardware, and call the runtime firmware to perform virtual mass production operation according to the target mass production data.

[0029] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a terminal device, the terminal device comprising: a memory, a processor, and a mass production program for storage hardware stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the mass production program for the storage hardware to implement the steps of the mass production method for the storage hardware as described above.

[0030] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a mass production program for storage hardware, wherein the mass production program for storage hardware, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the mass production method for storage hardware as described above.

[0032] In this embodiment, during operation, the terminal device first uses a simulated mass production tool built on a simulation testing platform to output preset mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware on the simulation testing platform. The terminal device then calls the mass production firmware in the virtual storage hardware to execute the mass production instructions and obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware. Afterward, the simulated mass production tool reads a preset boot program from the flash memory in the virtual storage hardware, and the boot program loads and runs the running firmware in the virtual storage hardware to perform virtual mass production operations according to the target mass production data.

[0033] Thus, by constructing a simulated mass production tool on a simulation testing platform, and having this simulated mass production tool output mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware to obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware, and loading the running firmware in the virtual storage hardware based on the target mass production data, the present invention eliminates the need to input information such as TCM data, DDR data, and bad block table of the solid-state storage hardware to complete the simulation test. This achieves the technical effect of simplifying the simulation testing process before the storage hardware leaves the factory and enabling simulated mass production operations on the storage hardware.

[0050] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can call the mass production program for the storage hardware stored in the memory 1005, and also perform the following operations:

[0051] Obtain the target topology data of the target storage hardware and the bad block status data of each flash memory in the target storage hardware;

[0052] Based on the target topology data, configure the virtual topology data of the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware, and configure the virtual bad block status data of the virtual storage hardware based on the bad block status data.

[0053] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can call the mass production program for the storage hardware stored in the memory 1005, and also perform the following operations:

[0054] The system calls the mass production firmware to read the preset mass production parameters in the mass production instruction, constructs a system block based on the virtual topology data, and constructs a bad block table based on the virtual bad block status data.

[0055] The target mass production data is obtained by inputting the mass production parameters, the system block, and the bad block table into the mass production firmware.

[0056] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can call the mass production program for the storage hardware stored in the memory 1005, and also perform the following operations:

[0057] The boot program within the virtual storage hardware is read using the target mass production data.

[0058] The bootloader loads the running firmware within the virtual storage hardware.

[0059] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can call the mass production program for the storage hardware stored in the memory 1005, and also perform the following operations:

[0060] Simulate a power outage operation on the virtual storage hardware;

[0061] An additional thread of the simulation test platform is invoked to simulate the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware in order to read the boot program from the flash memory within the virtual storage hardware.

[0064] Furthermore, the processor 1001 can call the mass production program for the storage hardware stored in the memory 1005, and also perform the following operations:

[0065] The first thread of the simulation test platform is invoked to simulate the normal mass production operation of the target storage hardware, and the second thread of the simulation test platform is invoked to simulate the virtual storage hardware.

[0066] The simulated mass production tool is obtained by interacting between the first thread and the second thread.

[0067] Based on the above structure, various embodiments of the mass production method of the storage hardware of the present invention are proposed.

[0068] It should be noted that in this embodiment, storage hardware is one of the most commonly used storage media, widely used in computer devices such as personal computers and servers. Correspondingly, the mass production operation of storage hardware before leaving the factory has become increasingly important. Currently, the mass production operation of storage hardware mainly involves simulating and testing the storage hardware on a simulation test platform developed based on the VS2007 tool by inputting information such as the TCM data, DDR data, and bad block table of the solid-state storage hardware. Then, the mass production operation is performed on the storage hardware based on the simulation test results. Thus, the mass production operation process of storage hardware is relatively complex and cannot simulate abnormal situations that occur during the operation of storage hardware in a timely manner.

[0069] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a method, apparatus, terminal device, and computer-readable storage medium for mass production of storage hardware. The method involves: outputting a preset mass production instruction to virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware; executing the mass production instruction using the mass production firmware within the virtual storage hardware to obtain target mass production data for the virtual storage hardware; loading the running firmware within the virtual storage hardware based on the target mass production data; and executing a virtual mass production operation using the running firmware according to the target mass production data.

[0070] In this embodiment, during operation, the terminal device first uses a simulated mass production tool built on a simulation testing platform to output preset mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware on the simulation testing platform. The terminal device then calls the mass production firmware in the virtual storage hardware to execute the mass production instructions and obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware. Afterward, the simulated mass production tool reads a preset boot program from each flash memory in the virtual storage hardware based on the target mass production data. The boot program loads and runs the running firmware in the virtual storage hardware to perform virtual mass production operations according to the target mass production data.

[0071] Thus, by constructing a simulated mass production tool on a simulation testing platform, and having the simulated mass production tool output mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware to obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware, and loading the running firmware in the virtual storage hardware based on the target mass production data, the present invention achieves the technical effect of simplifying the simulation testing process before the storage hardware leaves the factory and enabling simulated mass production operations on the storage hardware.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the mass production method for the storage hardware of the present invention.

[0073] It should be understood that although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the mass production method of the storage hardware of the present invention may of course perform the steps shown or described in a different order than that shown here.

[0074] Step S10: Output the preset mass production command to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware;

[0075] In this embodiment, during operation, the terminal device receives a user-triggered instruction to perform virtual mass production on the virtual storage hardware. The terminal device reads the instruction to obtain the mass production instruction carried within it, and then outputs the mass production instruction to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware on the simulation test platform within the terminal device.

[0076] For example, during operation, the terminal device outputs a visual interface to the mobile terminal bound to the user. The user triggers a command to perform virtual mass production on the virtual storage hardware through the visual interface. The terminal device receives and reads the command to obtain the mass production command carried in the command. The terminal device outputs the mass production command to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware on the simulation test platform through the simulation mass production tool mounted on the simulation test platform within the terminal device.

[0077] Furthermore, in a feasible embodiment, prior to step S10 above, the mass production method of the storage hardware of the present invention may further include:

[0078] Step A01: Obtain the target topology data of the target storage hardware and the bad block status data of each flash memory in the target storage hardware.

[0079] In this embodiment, the terminal device reads the target topology data of the target storage hardware through the simulation test platform. At the same time, the simulation test platform tests each flash memory in the target storage hardware to obtain the bad block status data of each flash memory.

[0080] Step A02: Configure virtual topology data of virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware based on the target topology data, and configure virtual bad block status data of the virtual storage hardware based on each bad block status data;

[0081] In this embodiment, the terminal device calls the aforementioned simulation test platform to read the aforementioned target topology data, and configures the virtual topology data of the virtual storage hardware on the simulation test platform based on the target topology data. At the same time, the simulation test platform reads the aforementioned bad block status data, and configures the virtual bad block status data of the virtual storage hardware based on the bad block status data.

[0082] For example, a terminal device calls a simulation testing platform to perform simulation testing on the aforementioned virtual storage hardware and obtains simulation test results. The terminal device then calls a simulated mass production tool within the simulation testing platform to read the simulation test results and obtain the target topology data of the target storage hardware. Simultaneously, the simulation testing platform tests each flash memory within the target storage hardware to obtain bad block status data for each flash memory. Afterward, the simulated mass production tool reads the target topology data and configures the virtual topology data of the virtual storage hardware on the simulation testing platform based on the target topology data. At the same time, the simulated mass production tool reads the bad block status data and configures the virtual bad block status data of the virtual storage hardware based on the bad block status data, so that the virtual topology data and virtual bad block status data of the virtual storage hardware are consistent with the target topology data and bad block status data of the target storage hardware.

[0083] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, users can also configure the virtual topology data and virtual bad block status data of the virtual storage hardware in various ways according to the actual mass production operation needs, so as to meet different testing requirements. The mass production method of the storage hardware of the present invention does not limit the configuration of the virtual topology data and virtual bad block status data of the virtual storage hardware.

[0084] Step S20: Invoke the mass production firmware in the virtual storage hardware to execute the mass production instruction and obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware;

[0085] In this embodiment, after the terminal device outputs the mass production instruction to the virtual storage hardware, the terminal device calls the mass production firmware in the virtual storage hardware to receive and respond to the mass production instruction, and reads the mass production parameters, virtual topology data and virtual bad block status data contained in the instruction through the mass production firmware, and obtains the target mass production data corresponding to the virtual storage hardware based on the data.

[0086] For example, after the terminal device outputs the mass production instruction to the virtual storage hardware, the terminal device calls the mass production firmware in the virtual storage hardware to receive and respond to the mass production instruction, and reads the mass production parameters, virtual topology data and virtual bad block status data contained in the instruction through the mass production firmware. The mass production firmware first reads the preset ini configuration file contained in the mass production parameters. At the same time, the mass production firmware constructs a system block and a bad block table according to the instruction. The mass production firmware obtains the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware based on the ini configuration file, the system block and the bad block table.

[0087] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a detailed flowchart illustrating step S20 of an embodiment of the mass production method for storage hardware of the present invention. In one feasible embodiment, step S20 may specifically include:

[0088] Step S201: Call the mass production firmware to read the preset mass production parameters in the mass production instruction, and construct a system block based on the virtual topology data, and construct a bad block table based on the virtual bad block status data;

[0089] In this embodiment, the terminal device calls the mass production firmware in the virtual storage hardware to receive and respond to the mass production instruction. At the same time, the mass production firmware reads the user-preset mass production parameters, virtual topology data and virtual bad block status data carried in the mass production instruction. The mass production firmware constructs the system block of the virtual storage hardware according to the virtual topology data, and constructs the bad block table of the virtual storage hardware according to the virtual bad block status data.

[0090] Step S202: Input each of the mass production parameters, the system block, and the bad block table into the mass production firmware to calculate the target mass production data;

[0091] In this embodiment, the control system integrated in the terminal device reads the aforementioned mass production parameters, the aforementioned system block, and the aforementioned bad block table, and inputs the aforementioned mass production parameters, the aforementioned system block, and the aforementioned bad block table into the aforementioned mass production firmware. The mass production firmware calculates the target mass production data for performing virtual mass production operations based on the aforementioned mass production parameters, the aforementioned system block, and the aforementioned bad block table.

[0092] For example, the terminal device calls the mass production firmware within the virtual storage hardware to receive and respond to the mass production instruction. Simultaneously, the mass production firmware reads the user-preset ini configuration file carried in the mass production instruction. The mass production firmware obtains various mass production parameters, such as factory information data, storage hardware parameter information data, and storage hardware capacity information data, for mass production operations on the target storage hardware through the ini configuration file. At the same time, the mass production firmware obtains the virtual topology data and the virtual bad block status data according to the instruction. The mass production firmware constructs the system block of the virtual storage hardware based on the virtual topology data and constructs the bad block table of the virtual storage hardware based on the virtual bad block status data. Then, the control system integrated in the terminal device reads the mass production parameters, the system block, and the bad block table, and inputs the mass production parameters, the system block, and the bad block table into the mass production firmware. At the same time, the mass production firmware calls the calculation model within the simulated mass production tool of the simulation test platform to calculate the target mass production data for virtual mass production operations.

[0093] It should be noted that, in addition to the factory information data, storage hardware parameter information data, and storage hardware capacity information data carried in the above-mentioned ini configuration file, it can also carry other types of data used for mass production operations of the storage hardware. The mass production method of the storage hardware of the present invention does not limit the type of mass production parameters.

[0094] Step S30: Read the boot program in the virtual storage hardware to load the running firmware in the virtual storage hardware, and call the running firmware to perform virtual mass production operation according to the target mass production data;

[0095] In this embodiment, after the terminal device obtains the target mass production data, the terminal device simulates the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware through the simulation test platform, and reads the user-preset boot program in the virtual storage hardware through the main control chip. The boot program reads the target mass production data and loads the running firmware. At the same time, the terminal device calls the running firmware to perform virtual mass production operation according to the target mass production data.

[0096] For example, after acquiring the target mass production data, the terminal device simulates the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware using the simulated mass production tool in the simulation test platform. The terminal device then reads the user-preset boot program from each flash memory in the virtual storage hardware through the main control chip. After that, the boot program reads the target mass production data and loads the aforementioned running firmware. Finally, the terminal device calls the running firmware and performs virtual mass production operations according to the target mass production data through the running firmware.

[0097] Further, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a detailed flowchart illustrating step S30 of an embodiment of the mass production method for storage hardware of the present invention. In one feasible embodiment, step S30 may specifically include:

[0098] Step S301: Read the boot program in the virtual storage hardware using the target mass production data;

[0099] In this embodiment, the terminal device inputs the target mass production data obtained above into the simulation test platform, which then calls the simulated mass production tool to simulate the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware based on the target mass production data. The terminal device then reads the boot program in the virtual storage hardware through the main control chip.

[0100] Step S302: The bootloader loads the running firmware within the virtual storage hardware;

[0101] In this embodiment, after reading the bootloader, the terminal device calls the bootloader to load the firmware. The terminal device then uses the firmware to perform virtual mass production on the virtual storage hardware according to the target mass production data.

[0102] For example, the terminal device inputs the target mass production data obtained above into the simulation test platform, and the simulated mass production tool in the simulation test platform reads the target mass production data. The terminal device uses the simulated mass production tool to simulate the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware on the simulation test platform. The terminal device uses the main control chip to read each flash memory in the virtual storage hardware to obtain the user-preset boot program. Then, the terminal device calls the boot program to load the running firmware. The terminal device uses the running firmware to perform virtual mass production operations on the virtual storage hardware according to the target mass production data.

[0103] Furthermore, in a feasible embodiment, step S301 specifically includes:

[0104] Step B01: Simulate a power failure operation on the virtual storage hardware;

[0105] In this embodiment, after obtaining the target mass production data, the terminal device calls the simulation test platform to perform a simulated power-off operation on the virtual storage hardware to obtain the virtual storage hardware in a power-off state.

[0106] Step B02: Call an additional thread of the simulation test platform to simulate the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware to read the boot program from the flash memory within the virtual storage hardware;

[0107] In this embodiment, the terminal device calls an additional thread of the simulation test platform to simulate the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware in a power-off state, and reads each flash memory in the virtual storage hardware through the simulated main control chip to read the user-preset boot program in each flash memory.

[0108] For example, after obtaining the target mass production data, the terminal device calls the simulated mass production tool in the simulation test platform to simulate a power-off operation on the virtual storage hardware to obtain the virtual storage hardware in a power-off state. Then, the terminal device calls an additional thread in the simulation test platform to simulate the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware in a power-off state. The terminal device reads each flash memory in the virtual storage hardware through the main control chip to obtain the user-preset boot program in each flash memory.

[0109] Furthermore, in one feasible embodiment, the mass production method of the storage hardware of the present invention may further include:

[0110] Step C: Build a simulated mass production tool based on the simulation test platform, wherein the simulated mass production tool is used to perform simulation test operations on the target storage hardware and to perform virtual mass production operations on the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware;

[0111] In this embodiment, the user pre-packages a simulation test platform that can simulate and test the target storage hardware without requiring input of various target data and output simulation test results into a data packet. This data packet is then output to the terminal device via another terminal device bound to the terminal device. The terminal device parses the data packet and installs the simulation test platform to perform simulation operations on the target storage hardware and virtual mass production operations on the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware. Simultaneously, the terminal device calls its built-in development tools to build a simulated mass production tool based on the simulation test data packet.

[0112] For example, a user pre-packages a simulation test platform that can simulate and test the target storage hardware without requiring input of various target data and output simulation test results into a data packet. The user outputs the data packet to the terminal device via a local gateway protocol through another terminal device bound to the terminal device. The terminal device calls the control system to receive and read the simulation test platform in the data packet, and installs the simulation test platform in the terminal device for simulating the target storage hardware and performing virtual mass production operations on the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware. Afterwards, the terminal device calls the built-in Mptools development tool, and the terminal device uses the Mptools development tool to build a simulated mass production tool based on the simulation test platform.

[0113] Furthermore, in one feasible embodiment, step C above may specifically include:

[0114] Step C01: Call the first thread of the simulation test platform to simulate the normal mass production operation of the target storage hardware, and at the same time, call the second thread of the simulation test platform to simulate the virtual storage hardware;

[0115] In this embodiment, the terminal device reads the aforementioned development tool, obtains the first thread of the aforementioned simulation test platform through the development tool, and controls the first thread to simulate the user-preset conventional mass production operation. At the same time, the terminal device obtains the second thread of the simulation test platform through the development tool and controls the second thread to simulate the aforementioned virtual storage hardware.

[0116] Step C02: Interact the first thread with the second thread to obtain the simulated mass production tool;

[0117] In this embodiment, the terminal device controls the first thread to output conventional mass production operation data. At the same time, the terminal device calls the development tool to control the second thread to output virtual storage hardware data. The development tool is used to set the first thread and the second thread to interact with each other according to a preset interaction method to obtain the mass production tool.

[0118] For example, the terminal device reads the aforementioned Mptools development tool. The terminal device obtains all threads within the aforementioned simulation test platform through the Mptools development tool, and within each thread, obtains the first thread of the simulation test platform. The terminal device calls the Mptools development tool to set the first thread to output conventional storage hardware mass production operation data. Simultaneously, the terminal device calls the Mptools development tool to set and obtain the second thread of the simulation test platform to output virtual storage hardware data. At the same time, the terminal device calls the Mptools development tool to set the interaction between the first thread and the second thread for the aforementioned data.

[0119] In this embodiment, during operation, the terminal device receives a user-triggered instruction to perform virtual mass production on the virtual storage hardware. The terminal device reads the instruction to obtain the mass production instructions carried within it. The terminal device then outputs these mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware on the simulation test platform within the terminal device. After outputting the mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware, the terminal device invokes the mass production firmware within the virtual storage hardware to receive and respond to the mass production instructions. It then reads the mass production parameters, virtual topology data, and virtual bad block status data contained within the instructions through the mass production firmware, and obtains the target mass production data corresponding to the virtual storage hardware based on this data. Finally, after obtaining the target mass production data, the terminal device simulates the main control chip of the virtual storage hardware through the simulation test platform and reads the user-preset boot program within the virtual storage hardware through the main control chip. The boot program reads the target mass production data and loads the aforementioned running firmware. Simultaneously, the terminal device invokes the running firmware to perform the virtual mass production operation according to the target mass production data.

[0120] Thus, by constructing a simulated mass production tool on a simulation testing platform, and having the simulated mass production tool output mass production instructions to the virtual storage hardware corresponding to the target storage hardware to obtain the target mass production data of the virtual storage hardware, and loading the running firmware in the virtual storage hardware based on the target mass production data, the present invention achieves the technical effect of simplifying the simulation testing process before the storage hardware leaves the factory and enabling simulated mass production operations on the storage hardware.
